Anyone else see this from a link from a link of a link on slashdot. Sony is introducing a car mp3 player that has a 10 gig hard disk and cd player. It auto rips CDs. Cost is $1500. Sounds like the Empeg next gen that they are trying to sell to OEMs, but totally different interface.

Also, Kenwood is officially selling a Phatbox unit.
